On my Mac, the default "soffice" command is not recognized out of the box; providing the full path to soffice ("/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice") helps. Also, it only seems to work when LibreOffice isn't already running, though I may be wrong about that (I just tried this for the first time). Yours, Christian Julian M.

Perhaps you can try the equivalent on your system and see if you get an error. If so, you can stop worrying about org and start worrying about your LibreOffice installation. But in any case, you should have more information about what goes wrong. If you can't figure it out, you should probably post both what your *Message* buffer shows after the failure and what the command output is.

So, if you are viewing the doc in LibreOffice while you try your export, you might run into problems. This is a reported bug in LibreOffice. The suggested work-around is to use a temporary profile as in: libreoffice "-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/LibO_Conversion" --headless --invisible --convert-to txt:text "$FILENAME" >/dev/null ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You might try to add that to the conversion command and see whether it helps.
